The open-source Firefox Web browser is critically flawed in the way it handles JavaScript, two hackers said Saturday afternoon. An attacker could commandeer a computer running the browser simply by crafting a Web page that contains some malicious JavaScript code, Mischa Spiegelmock and Andrew Wbeelsoi said in a presentation at the ToorCon hacker conference here. The flaw affects Firefox on Windows, Apple Computer's Mac OS X, and Linux, they said.

I guess this is probably more than a bit off-topic, here. And for that, I appologize.
I think your comment was very interesting. I was, though, very relieved that it did not in any way hit on the Firefox developer community - but rather the community of browser-facists that usually include a large number of Windows users. I think that what we can learn from your story is to keep away from one-sided propaganda and marketing... as always.
